About Lori

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi!, I'm Lori and I've been a caregiver for about 20 years. I started as a teen, volunteering at local nursing homes, where I would read, feed and help bathe patients. In 2016 my husband suffered a ruptured aneurysm. I was his sole caregiver until his death in 2018. I bathed, dressed, helped feed, managed his meds and helped him with all aspects of his rehab. Since my husband's death in 2018, I have dedicated myself to caregiving. Knowing instinctively how to soothe and encourage, I have worked often with people suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Skills such as understanding, medicine management and healthy food choices have made me an excellent caregiver for people with COPD and diabetes. The bottom line is that all of us, ill, or not, need companionship. I'm a storyteller, an avid listener, an empathetic heart, and and a kick butt checkers player. My skills and my references, (which I keep with me-I'm old school), are exceptional. I'm CPR certified. I can help.

Lori cared for my mom during the last year of her life. She proved to be an incredibly warm, reliable, and patient caregiver. Lori‘s experience and knowledge of hospice care was invaluable to our family. She worked in conjunction with our hospice nurse, providing care and companionship for our mom even on the most difficult days. The compassion Lori showed my mom in those final months gave us such a peace of mind. Her fun and sunny personality always put a smile on my mom‘s face.
